Minor was born missing his right forearm. He wore a prosthetic forearm and hand until he was five, but stopped using it because it became a hindrance. He slowly began taking up snowboarding at the age of seven after seeing other people snowboarding. He worked as a lift attendant on Copper Mountain before being asked to compete competitively with Adaptive Action Sports. In November of 2015, he made his international debut at a world cup event.
